Dr. Sketchy's NYC

I went to my first Dr. Sketchy meet up here in NYC last week, the theme was Godzilla! Dr. Sketchy's is hosted at the Bowery Poetry Club, the costumes are fun and silly and there's booze and prizes for silly drawing!

Warm up, one minute sketch!

I wish they had used the tiny, old school Godzilla head more. This was the only time the model used it.

The theme for this one was an epic battle between Godzilla and someone. Not remembering how to draw Ultraman, I made a knockoff Ultraman and won an enormous, squishy narwhal!

Project Pepperpot: world building

I mentioned back in May that Anna-Maria Jung (whose blog you should go see for more updates on our collaborative pepperpot project) and I had combined our skills and begun a project together. That project (deemed Project: Pepperpot for now) is coming together great! 

One of my favorite things about working on this project is all of the world building involved. Figuring out what the cities and towns will look like, how our characters will dress and (my favorite part) figuring out the sorts of animals that are running around this world.

Here are some of my favorite creature sketches so far:

those look like they'd be useful with a slingshot...

I LOVE giant, rideable birds.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR ARMS?!

The Road Trip II

I told you we should have asked for directions.

The Road Trip

...is that a lighthouse?

Monster RPG

Just a quick one for now....

Drawing @ SOI

Last night I went to the Society of Illustrators for a little costume drawing. The theme was Bastille Day so the ladies were dressed up as saucy French women; they brought bread as a prop which broke soon into the drawing session. After the bread broke, there was a bready battle!

WIP :: Things to Come - Lions and Peppers

I've been busy drawing away - here's a glimpse at things to come!

A kingly lion!

A stand of colorful peppers!

Life Drawing @ the Society of Illustrators

Now that school is out I have time to head to the Society of Illustrators for their weekly model drawing nights (with live music, SO cool). This time around they had a lovely full figured model who was lots of fun to draw. 

This is my favorite of the sketches done in crayon.

Vikings: The Ultimate Question

If pirates have ninjas, who are the sworn enemies of vikings? Mummies? Zombies? Romans?

Some sketches while this life changing question is pondered:

Super Secret: Project Pepperpot

So, there's a rumor out there that maybe I'm working on some kind of super amazing collaborative project with the ever formidable Anna-Maria Jung. This project may feature lots of awesome fantasy stuff and a lot of silliness.

Here's a first glimpse of the awesomeness in store!

The Good (model sheet by Anna-Maria):

The pointy (sketch by me):

The intensely awesome (pencils and colors by Anna-Maria, inks by me):

Life Drawing @ the Society of Illustrators

The Society of Illustrators has life drawing nights (with live jazz and wine!); below are the results of an evening. The models were a Gothic Lolita character and a Mean Clown (with scary big nose and The Crow makeup).

Oh boy!

Buildings, buildings, buildings

Boy do I love drawing buildings...

WIP? :: What the hell is this, anyway?

Yeah, I'm not sure.
